Kathy, that's really interesting. Other than the Sirius moment, I hadn't really noticed that. I think they were trying to play some non-existent rift between Ron and Harry because of Ginny. Why was Ron off in the back, why didn't he even say "I agree with Hermione." It just seemed so strange to have a lead actor in a scene with no lines.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in Iron Man 2. I wonder how embarrassing her fake Russian accent is going to be.

Dare we hope for a reprise of Kate Beckinsale's "Romanian" accent from Van Helsing? Once she was done with the werewolf, I expected her to start hunting Moose and Squirrel.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Dan Radcliffe is going for a Dudley Moore in Arthur thing after he drinks the Liquid Luck.
I thought he was doing Captain Jack Sparrow.

I another another HP question. In Order of the Phoenix, did they cut out the part of the prophecy about how it could have been Neville who was the chosen one? Because he was barely in this movie, and I wondered what role would be left for him in the final movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no shit, Sue.
I was actually pretty pissed at the treatment of Neville. I think the character deserves a lot more respect than what he got in the movie. I really like Neville and felt for him as a result of book 5 and I feel like he was really mistreated in this movie - given future events.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
ITA about Neville. A fraking WAITER?!?! What asshole did they pull that out of??

Yeah, that really ticked me off, too. Although JKR did give Neville short shrift in the HBP book, it wasn't quite that bad.
He was also in Slughorn's class, which is a big mistake in terms of Neville but was obviously just done to give him a few more seconds of airtime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
